Product Description

Dress like the world-famous Maasai in their traditional attire. Heavier than both kangas and kikoys; they are the traditional outfit of the Maasai. Shukas usually come in red – the favourite colour of the Maasai, to match their red ochre decorated bodies. Made predominantly in a checked design, the colours and sizes of stripes vary. Thrown over the shoulder or tied round the waist by a sword belt they are multi-functional, from wrap to scarf, rug to blanket. Shukas are often used in Africa as tablecloths; dog blankets and are ideal for picnics.

A decade ago Bouf was born in London. Our inspiration was the capital’s iconic Spitalfields market. The aim was to transport that same creative Spitalfields energy derived from sellers and makers into a great online marketplace.

Our core team of devoted design-hunters has a great job. We seek out the hottest design talent, from iconic manufacturers and known brands to the new kids on the design block. We curate the best design talent for Bouf and now work with over 500 handpicked suppliers. The new improved, redesigned Bouf online marketplace makes our selection easier than ever to navigate.
